What would it take for you to become vegan?

[Strivetobe]

A genuine question after a conversation some friends and I were having. They said that they'd become vegan if the ready meals and prepackaged vegan meals were cheaper. It got me thinking, are there any conditions under which you would consider veganism and if so, what are they?

I’d consider it if I had a chef. I do not have the time or ability to prepare appetising vegan meals.

Absolutely nothing would make me go Vegan!

You could send the ten plagues and I still wouldn’t.

@NailsNeedDoing .. most coffee shops have a variety of alternatives milk .. I settled on soya milk when I went vegan .. even at a kids farm the other day they had soya milk.. a lot of people need it for allergies so it's available .

I'd be there if someone can crack absolutely convincing, indistinguishable butter and cheese, I'm in!

What about if factory farming was made illegal and all meat became incredibly expensive?

It would be tough as I can't eat gluten

I could never be a vegan. I am trying to eat less meat and animal products, though.

But could never stop entirely.

If they genetically engineered carrots to taste like sausages, that might be a start in my case.

A garanteed way to keep my hemoglobine level high enough not to feel so faint all the time. I have been struggling with aneamia since I was 6. There is plant based iron, but it's just not as effective.

I became vegan - well whole food plant based so no to all the fake crap - when I was diagnosed with a genetic mutation that not only gives me a 60% risk of cancer but also comes with the fact that cancer prognosis for my condition is extremely bad and unresponsive to successful treatment and in general with have a 10-15 years reduce life expectancy.

I adopted an anticancer lifestyle and eliminated every animal product.

So the answer to your question OP is the wish to be around for longer than predicted.

The sudden total, complete and permanent loss of all animals. That's what it would take for me to become vegan.

I wouldn't give up meat unless it became illegal to eat it, and even then I would resent it mightily.

No, i love meat, chicken, fish, eggs, definitely couldn't give up cheese

Two reasons:

1. Health
2. Environment

I’m currently pescatarian. I would be vegan if my body could get all the nutrients it needed from a vegan diet. As it stands, it cannot and I become unwell, cognitively slow and very frail on a vegan diet.

If we all ate less meat, that would be a brilliant thing for the planet. If we all went vegan, it would be environmentally disastrous.
Balance is key.

I’m an omnivore now but I feel it’s inevitable. I use oat milk, I’m going off meat, I worry about the dairy industry and the planet.
But yes a personal chef would help

Maybe if I developed a milk allergy. But otherwise, you can pry my proper tea from my cold dead hands.

I could definitely eat a lot less meat and cheese though.

I already do without meat and dairy , but I love eggs.
Could I be a veggan?

My dd is vegetarian .
My dh and I eat vegetarian or vegan meals for 5/7 days per week . Would have meat on the other two days .
I’ve tried veganism in the past but despite eating a very varied diet .
, I always begin to feel very ill around 5/6 months in .
I would miss goats cheese too much to go vegan again .

It took me becoming a mother to change my view of everything. Obviously all the sustainability stuff but more than that, it was finally having a mother’s instinct to protect my child. I couldn’t be part of taking another animal’s baby away from her after that.

Nothing. I love bacon too much!

If I was a different species.

Not a lot because I am already vegetarian but I am also allergic to dairy and I don’t eat many eggs and could certainly cut them out

If there was no cheese and milk anymore. I'm veggie and have tried to go vegan but around day 5/6 I start to get really bitchy and dream about pizza. I just don't want to be that angry about food.

Ds has just turned vegan.

He loves vegan pizza

I tried a vegan white Greek cheese (Planet Organic)

It was the best thing I have ever tasted.
